Long-Range Coupled Motions Underlie Ligand Recognition by a Chemokine Receptor

Summary: Chemokines are unusual class-A G protein-coupled receptor agonists because of their large size (∼10 kDa) and binding at two distinct receptor sites: N-terminal domain (Site-I, unique to chemokines) and a groove defined by extracellular loop/transmembrane helices (Site-II, shared with all sm...
